Christ. And since we are now in the Isaiah Chapters which cover the Apocalypse, God's Message of waiting for Him has not changed. The phrase "but by Thee only will we make mention of Thy name" means to keep Him in remembrance, and recall who our GOD is. Isa 26:14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast Thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. Who are the "dead" which have already been sentenced to 'perish'? Has any flesh man been judged by Christ to perish yet? No. The key to properly understanding this verse requires one to go into the Hebrew Manuscripts, for the word "deceased" in this verse is Hebrew 'Rapha', and it applies to the Rephaim, i.e. the fallen ones (Strong's 7496 & 7497). This word "deceased" should have been translated as the proper name Rephaim. Those are the fallen angels and their offspring of the race of 'giants'(Nephilim). They will not be resurrected, nor ever remembered again after their destruction .
Psalms 9: Read All. Isaiah 14:12-21: Read All.
Eccl.9:5. For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they anymore a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
See Revelation 11: Read All.
With the seven thousand that are slain at an instant when our Lord Jesus Christ returns on the seventh trumpet. Recall that Lucifer and his fallen angels are cast down to earth for the tribulation time, as per;
Revelation 12:7 forward: That's part of Satan's locust army of Rev.9, and his "ministers" of 2 Corinthians 11: Read All.
Those will be the captains of Satan's host upon earth during the tribulation, one might say Scary? It shouldn't be, because God just told us here in Isaiah that those will not rise. They are destined for destruction by God's Hand. Those in Christ have no need to worry about them.
Luke 10: Read All Isa 26:15 Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, Thou hast increased the nation: Thou art glorified: Thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth. This refers to two major events concerning God's Israel being enlarged. The "nation" being increased is stated twice in this verse for special emphasis. The first event was God removing the majority of Israel (i.e. ten tribes and the dispersed of the "house of Judah") to new lands in the West, where they are now, and making Joseph's son Ephraim into "a multitude of nations" as promised. (Great Britain.)
Gen.48:19.
Also see the Lost Tribes studies. That means a multitude of Israelite nations today, by the way, which include many Gentile believers on Christ also.
